I don't know how much this will really matter, but Mindy Kaling is leaving The Office to go to Fox where she wrote/co-created a pilot that was picked up. It was originally in the development slate at NBC, but they passed and let her take it to Fox. I know her character was never huge, but I don't know what kind of writing she did for the show in the past.

Maybe it will improve the show, but the pilot she took to Fox is one of the hottest of the year so who knows.

I didn't love last night's episode. And I really hate that they are keeping Catherine Tate in. Does NBC think people actually like her because I haven't heard anyone say they like her at all.

The Mindy Kaling episode are kind of hit and miss with me. Golden Ticket is one of my favorites and Night Out is great too. But The Lecture Circuit episodes, Dawali, Michael's Last Dundies, and Classy Christmas are pretty weak. And the Jim-Pam wedding is probably one of my five least favorite episodes.

I'd rather they just end it gracefully at this point. I still love most of what they are putting out, but I don't want it to end ugly.

It's already ugly. I don't want it to end because I still enjoy half the episodes. A rocky couple seasons at the end won't tarnish the show's excellent early years. A person could reasonably partition off the post-Carell episodes and ignore them.

Set aside whatever you think of the quality of the show — NBC needs The Office because it still draws the biggest ratings of any of its shows. Without The Office, even with its lessened quality, shows like Parks and Rec and 30 Rock would not be able to stay afloat.

There should definitely be a Michael Scott wedding episode sometime this season. The final episode should be Jim either being promoted to Regional Manger or finally leaving for a better job.
